Zulu?
 

hello together
also the same friend. These two spearheads (zulu?)
I am a bit perplexed, they are very heavy. 1m length, 10mm thickness and the other 8mm
real or not? the color of the material makes me worry. I'm not even sure if this is iron!
One idea that might be?

Very nice blades. Not my field of interest and knowledge, but i would say that these spearblades are Masai.

Masai, I have nearly the same.

Not Zulu for sure.

Thet are Masai spears minus the shaft.

hello together
many thanks for your info.
the Masai, and it is not Zulu, is clear, was already late, smile.

These are some of the stars of my collection. I believe this form of spear is known in the collecting world partly because of "Stone" as old Massai.

Hi, These are Masaï spear tips of the '50 for sure.
You can see some older Masaï spears on the website, Kenya, Masaï

Kind regards.

The "Spear Collector" is right. But not all long versions are "vintage" This picture is from a book published in 1918. The pictures would have come from a publishers picture archive, so could well be a picture taken from much earlier than 1918.

THERE IS MORE THAN ONE FORM OF MASAI SPEAR AND SOME DENOTED AN ELDER WARRIOR AND OTHERS A YOUNGER CLASS OF WARRIOR. THE LONG BLADED ONES ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS LION SPEARS. I WOULD THINK THE LONGER DOUBLE EDGED BLADE ON THESE SPEARS WOULD DO MORE DAMMAGE WHEN USED TO IMPAIL A LION WHILE KNEELING BEHIND YOUR SHIELD. THERE MAY BE A LINK TO A FILM SHOWING A MASAI WARRIOR KILLING A LION IN THIS TRADITIONAL WAY. IT IS NO LONGER DONE TO SHOW BRAVERY AND AS A RITE OF PASSAGE INTO MANHOOD.
